Even worse

Well I got another creepy message today. This time from an obviously fake name and a guy.
But it was about meeting for lunch to talk about a business proposition... What business is there on the moon? And this guy is definitely on the moon base since he doesn't know where I am and he just "told" me to meet him. Not ask if we "could".
I'm going to go now, I need to make sure that my room is secure.
Teen out.

I'm locking my door tonight

Hmm I'm thinking of turning this log into a blog, it would be pretty fun.
I would get to show the whole world my wacky point of veiw and totally different lifestyle, who wouldn't wantto do that?
The only disadvantage would probably be that my facebook would get even more attention.
My nickname is lonely astronaut and that interests girls somehow? Because I got a message today asking if I was interested in a long distance relationship... I was like, that would be a "far out" relationship (hehe, get it?) and then added her to blocked contacts. I don't ever want to get a creepy message like that again.
You know what would be even creepier? If the girl was on this moon base and messages me because she recognized me... Eeew! Someone potentially on this moon base asked if I was interested in a relationship?
Im going to lock my door tonight, that is kind of disturbing that someone would be stalking me on Facebook and not ask me in person.
True "she" might not be on the base but why else would a girl ask a guy all the way on the moon if he was interested in a relationship...

Freezer burn?

Today we had a test on cryo-freeze.
It was all about what to do and not do, such as how to recognize "freeze fail" where the subject is very "out of it".
The way to recognize it is if the subject doesn't respond to questions, appears to have memory loss or is unable to stand even after 20 minutes out of freeze.
If you think someone has cryo-freeze you have to get them back into the cryo chamber and freeze them for about a day while observing them and giving medical attention if needed.
It's usually permanent if not fixed after refreezed.
Another thing we were tested about was what to do after we are released from cryogenic-freezing.
When you are released from cryo treatment you should begin rubbing yor wrists and ankles gently to circulate blood faster while your "thawing".
Also do not eat for at least 4 hours after freezing no matter how hungry you are, it can cause serious organ damage since they might not have thawed yet.
That's the two main subjects we were tested on, I'm not sure how much more we have to go through but I assume they have to test us more to weed out the unsuitable astronauts.

now I know how our food feels

Today the people that passed the test, which does in fact include me, went through cryogenic-freeze training. All I can say is, "it's cold". Now I know how our freeze-dried food feels.
I enjoyed watching people go into but not so much doing it (basically the same as everyone else). It was funny because nothing looks different except their chest stops rising and falling then after they got out they would shiver and sometimes fall on the floor.
Now if you'll excuse me I'm going to go warm up, my fingers are having trouble typing.

Tests and pencils

Today we had a test, yay.
Oh speaking of which, I knew I was forgetting something. Writing all my notes in my log and telling you about them.
I'm so used to using a paper and pencil that I forgot I should use my log.
Anyway, we had a test today and I hope I did ok, the test can even send people back home so we have to get a good grade in the curve. It's rather nerve racking but I just had to remember that a regular test is similar, if you fail enough you get sent home eventually.
I've noticed I write less when it's been a stressful day so I'll write another peom, just to keep me busy longer.

Schoolwork so bland
In this foreign land
Is frustrating indeed
Especially when you need to speed
But even worse
Than a curse
Is a pop-quiz

The food stinks

I feel whiny today so I'm going to complain about the food.
The food stinks!
They freeze dry about 50% of everything we eat, it can be fun but wierd. The ice cream is probably my favorite if I had to choose a food. Its like compacted sawdust when you put it into your mouth but when you chew it for a few seconds it turns into kind of a pudding. I almost never had non-freeze-dried ice cream so I don't have much to compare to but I think it's almost as good.
It seems forever since I've had a piece of fresh fruit, I would even be happy for some fresh veggies.

I wish I had veggies
All moist and green
If they aren't freeze-dried they have a wonderful sheen
Oh how wonderful they are
I only wish they had them up on this desolate star.
